***Roberto's pov****I was holding my drink in my hand waiting for him to announce whatever he wants to so i could ditch the party and go home.He walked up to Mona and held her hand. She smiled brightly."Today,my son would be engaging his woman." He announced and I laughed. Everyone started clapping"You must be joking dad." I whispered and he placed Mona's hand in mine.He handed a little box which contained a ring to me."Do the needful." He said."You must be joking." He answered back.I took a step forward and he grabbed my arm."You dare not walk out of this party." He said."Or what?" I questioned."I take my company back." He threatened."Will you stop threatening me with that? I'm your son." I yelled and he patted my shoulder."Do it!" He commanded."Don't mind my son. He's just shy." He said and everyone laughed. I dropped the cup I was holding in the tray one of the ushers were holding.I opened the box and brought out the diamond ring which was inside. I grabbed Mona's h
***Roberto's pov***I slept off and woke up the next morning,did my daily routine and went to watch the television and saw the news about my engagement. "So annoying." I commented and left for work.After going through files that had been pending for days. I heard a soft knock on the door."Who's there?" I asked."It's me babe." Mona's said and walked in.She came in with a lunch bag."I made this for you." She said and sat on the chair opposite to me."I never asked you to bring me lunch." I concentrated on the laptop."What do you mean? Do you know the stress I went through in making this?" She yelled."I never asked you to. Just leave!" I banged my hand on the table."I won't unless you eat this." She said and my dad walked in."You'll eat this. Why aren't you appreciative? This is so unfair. You've got someone who loves you wholeheartedly and she even made lunch for you." My dad said.I took the bag and opened it. I ate all of the content and drank the bottled water in it."Are y
**Laura's pov****We rushed to the police station and reported the issue but they made a joke out of it."My kids have been taken away from me." I announced."Do you know who took them or do you have anybody you suspect?" The police officer asked."I know. They were taken by a woman from social service." I said and he laughed."Are you sure of what you are saying? Social service?" He asked and my dad interviened."She is saying the truth. We went there to get her kids before they get adopted. The woman refused to tell us the process. She even admitted she hates us." My dad added."See let me explain. I was announced dead because of an accident then my kids were taken away from my house to my parents house,then later they were taken to social service. Now I'm back and want to have my kids but she wouldn't release them." I said and he nodded."Okay? Why would someone from social service do that? That's unethical." He said and I nodded."Very unethical. Please follow us so I can get my b
***Laura's pov***"Who did this to you? Who?" I asked and he looked around."Promise me,you don't want to know. You aren't even safe here." He said."Safe? What's wrong?" I asked."The walls have ears." He replied."I know it's Rosa. She did all of this. She was the one who pushed I and Roberto down the bridge." I said and he gasped."Roberto was in there with you?" He asked and I nodded."Yes. He didn't die too. He made it like me but Rosa is dead. She didn't wait for me to get my revenge on her." I clenched my fist."Why would your sister want you dead? Why would she do that?" He asked."Maybe because she is not a Park and i am a Park. She wants my inheritance all to herself." I explained."So many secrets in your family. Now I'm scared for my life." He whispered."Don't worry Rosa is dead." I announced."I know. Have you seen our kids? They are with your parents. Have you seen them? Do they miss me too? Have you made their favorite dish?" He asked and I sniffed."I couldn't protect
***Cynthia's pov***"Why would he say that? Why would he make Laura the CEO? How about me? I've been with him for years,through thick and thin." I asked myself as I paced round the room."Does he know already? What would I gain in this house? My daughter is gone now another woman's daughter would be made CEO. What if Laura's mom come back?" I asked myself."This can't work. I won't let it happen. Laura can't be made CEO,it's over my dead body. I have to kill her. I have to get rid of her now." I said.What sort of rubbish is this? Why would he pick that girl over me?I went to sit by the pool where my husband was seated. Only his legs were in water,he seems to be deep in thoughts"Hey!" I said startling him. I sat beside him and put my legs in water."Hey." He smiled."I really want to discuss something with you. It's important." i said and he cleared his throat."What do you have to say Cynthia? Don't bring more trouble and don't talk about Roberto." He said and I shaked my head."I'
***Laura's pov***"You have every right to be angry but please have mercy. My kids..." His loud yellings cut me off."I don't care about your goddamned kids. Those rude pathetic creatures. I don't care about your family. Didn't Ma'am Cynthia tell you? Even when I came back they were still after me. Did you know Peter wants to divorce Rosa?" He announced and I was shocked."Rosa married Peter?" I turned to look at my dad."I don't know anything about this." My dad said."How? When did all of this happen?" I asked."See? See how rotten and diguisting your family is. Rosa sued me to court. She took me to court and all the evidence of how we fell off the bridge was deleted. Only the information of the car brakes were kept. One of my bodyguards was shot,he's still on leave now." He continued ranting.I couldn't ask him for help. It was really a sin to ask but my kids. I want to see my kids and he's the only one who can help me. If I go to our family friends or our friends they'd make fun o
***Laura's pov***I turned around and it was my mother standing right in front of me.I ran to her hoping to stick the knife into her belly and watch her bleed to death but a stronger hand held my hand."What are you doing? Are you crazy?" He yelled.I struggled to get out of his grip but I couldn't."Hold her please. Don't let her kill me." Rosa's mother yelled."Let me kill her. Let me kill that evil witch." I screamed on top of my voice.He snatched the knife away from me."Are you okay?" He slapped my face gently and I belched."She's drunk. She stinks." My dad said.He carried me and took me to my room."Bath for her. Pour some water on her head too." He said and my mom nodded.He left and she walked to me."You tried to kill me." She grabbed my neck and I tried to breath."Now shout for help. Shout so they can come help you and save you from this evil witch." She smiled but I couldn't do anything. I was tired and my hands were lazy. I couldn't fight for my life.She released me
***Laura's pov***I woke up the next day when my dad tapped my shoulders. I stretched and yawned loudly. "How are you feeling now?" He asked."I'm not feeling okay. My head hurts." I rubbed my forehead and yawned again. "Well you should get dressed so we can go to the office today." He said.I remembered everything that happened last night. How I got to know my mom isn't my real mom and how she had tried to kill me. If not for my dad interviening,I would be chilling with Rosa in heaven by now. "Are you okay dear?" He asked."I'm not. I'm not okay at all. Why didn't you tell me?" i glared at him. "Tell you what? What's the problem my child?" He asked. "You didn't tell me Rosa's mother is not my mother." I said and tears began running down my eyes. "Who told you that? She is your mother dear, don't believe what others might say." He convinced. "She's not dad. She told me yesterday herself." I said and he rubbed my cheeks softly. "I'm sorry." He whispered.I wanted to say somethi
